ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 18, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE WILLIAM WHALEY, or KnoxvILLn, Tennessee SHOVELING MACHINE Application filed February 28, 1930. Serial No. 432,209.

This invention relates particularly to ma-:

chines for shoveling coal, loose rock, and similar material. For machines of this general type, reference made to my Letters Patent of the United States, No. 940,999, dated November 23, 1909, and No; 1,379,428, dated May 24, 1921.

The object of this invention is'to produce.

, destroying the stability of the machine and allows effecting the various movements of the shovel with greater facility and with the application of less power.

Furthermore, the structurev of the shovel mechanism and the jib are adapted to manufacture at moderate cost. 7

The height of the forward end of the jib, whereon the shovel is supported, may be adjusted through a considerable range to allow the shovel to reach the floor or bottom on which the lading material rests. The jib has a wide lateral range. The conveyor belt on the jib discharges the material upon the rear or main conveyor. That conveyor is located on the body of the machine and is i tended to discharge into a mine car or elsewhere. The body of the machine is supported on wheels, preferably rail track wheels, which may be turned by power for forward or backward movement of the machine. suc h movement being under the control of the operator. This propelling mecha nism is used for moving the machine from place to place, preferably'on rail tracks,'and' also for relatively short forward and bacltward movement, as may be needed, during the operation of the machine.
